Protect Your Florida Lifestyle
From retirement assets to your homestead, ensure everything is protected under Florida law.
Florida Estate Planning Rules
Creating a will in Florida comes with specific requirements. While My Last Word handles the heavy lifting, it's important to understand the local laws that protect your legacy.
Witness Requirements
Two witnesses who must be present at the same time
Probate Threshold
Estates under $75,000 (Summary Administration) may qualify for simplified procedures.
Specific Laws You Should Know
Homestead Protection
Florida has unique "Homestead" laws that protect your primary residence from creditors and restrict how you can leave it to heirs if you have a spouse or minor children.
Self-Proving Affidavit
To speed up probate in Florida, it is highly recommended to make your will "self-proving" by having it notarized at the time of signing. My Last Word includes instructions for this step.
